stunnel 3:5.78-3
Package Information
| Description | Universal SSL tunnel for network daemons The stunnel program is designed to work as SSL encryption wrapper between remote client and local (inetd-startable) or remote server. The concept is that having non-SSL aware daemons running on your system you can easily setup them to communicate with clients over secure SSL channel. stunnel can be used to add SSL functionality to commonly used inetd daemons like POP-2, POP-3 and IMAP servers without any changes in the programs' code. This package contains a wrapper script for compatibility with stunnel 3.x |

Changelog
stunnel (3:5.78-3) experimental; urgency=medium
.
* Adjust some Lintian overrides.
* Rename the package to stunnel, not stunnel4 any more:
- rename the source package to stunnel
- rename the main binary package to stunnel
- add a transitional stunnel4 package only containing a single symlink;
when the reverse dependencies are updated, this package will become
a purely transitional one
- drop the dh-sequence-single-binary virtual dependency since
we build two binary packages now
- rename most of the debian/stunnel4.* files to debian/stunnel.*
- adapt the stunnel.sysusers file to create a user account and
a group named stunnel, not stunnel4
- adapt the stunnel.postinst file to rename the various */stunnel4/
directories to */stunnel/ if they exist; keep the part that
creates them if neither the old ones nor the new ones are there
- try to remove the stunnel4 user account and group in the postinst
script if upgrading from an earlier version
- adapt the debian/* files to refer to stunnel instead of stunnel4
- drop the 02-rename-binary patch
- drop the PPP restart scripts; they will not work in a non-SysV-init
environment anyway, and we do not even ship a SysV init script
any more
- drop the stunnel.default file, it is not used any more
- ship an empty stunnel4.sysusers file to make sure the stunnel4
user account and group are no longer automatically (re)created.dsc
